Fernando Ferrer is stuck at 32 percent among likely Democratic primary voters just one
day before the New York City Democratic primary for Mayor, coming no closer to the 40
percent goal needed to avoid a run off, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released
today.

U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner appears to have locked up second place, with 25 percent.
City Council Speaker Gifford Miller and Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields
each have 14 percent, with 13 percent of likely Democratic primary voters undecided.

This compares to September 7 results of 32 percent for Ferrer, 21 percent for
Weiner, 17 percent for Miller and 13 percent for Fields, in a poll of likely Democratic
primary voters by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

In this latest survey, 41 percent say they might change their mind before tomorrow.

"Congressman Weiner's on the move, but he hasn't caught Fernando Ferrer yet. So
they might have to do it again in two weeks. Will Weiner's surge continue? Will there be
a Latino surge for Ferrer? It's a Democratic barn-burner," said Maurice Carroll, director of
the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

From September 6 - 11, Quinnipiac University surveyed 717 New York City likely
Democratic primary voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.7 percentage points.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts
public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida and
nationwide as a public service and for research.
